WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:01.840
<v Speaker 1>Thank you, John. It is eight oh five here Kentucky,

2
00:00:01.879 --> 00:00:04.160
<v Speaker 1>Anda's Morning News with Nick Coffee on news Radio eight

3
00:00:04.240 --> 00:00:07.480
<v Speaker 1>forty whas and as we get our final hour started,

4
00:00:07.519 --> 00:00:10.640
<v Speaker 1>I can't fight the feeling here that I need to

5
00:00:11.320 --> 00:00:15.679
<v Speaker 1>clarify that I'm not in support of somebody making fun

6
00:00:15.759 --> 00:00:20.039
<v Speaker 1>and making jokes about someone who just lost their mother recently,

7
00:00:20.079 --> 00:00:22.800
<v Speaker 1>who died. So I don't, I don't condone that, and

8
00:00:23.039 --> 00:00:24.800
<v Speaker 1>I hope and I believe that I did convey that

9
00:00:24.839 --> 00:00:27.559
<v Speaker 1>in our recent conversation there as Scott gave us the

10
00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:29.760
<v Speaker 1>latest update on sports. But for those who missed it,

11
00:00:29.800 --> 00:00:33.119
<v Speaker 1>there's a major League Baseball fan who has been banned

12
00:00:33.119 --> 00:00:36.719
<v Speaker 1>for life because he was accused and I guess admitted

13
00:00:36.799 --> 00:00:41.159
<v Speaker 1>maybe to heckling a picture and he made a reference

14
00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:44.280
<v Speaker 1>to the picture's mother and that picture's I mean, the

15
00:00:44.799 --> 00:00:49.759
<v Speaker 1>picture was emotional, just downright beside himself because clearly what

16
00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:52.000
<v Speaker 1>was said was very hurtful, so much so that he

17
00:00:52.039 --> 00:00:54.719
<v Speaker 1>couldn't control his emotions and he became a story. And

18
00:00:55.520 --> 00:00:59.039
<v Speaker 1>hear me out, I'm not, I don't, I don't. I

19
00:00:59.079 --> 00:01:03.560
<v Speaker 1>don't see how many get anything out of heckling players

20
00:01:03.560 --> 00:01:06.840
<v Speaker 1>at games. I'm not somebody that is approved to it

21
00:01:07.079 --> 00:01:09.120
<v Speaker 1>that thinks it's completely out of line. I just can't relate,

22
00:01:09.159 --> 00:01:12.400
<v Speaker 1>like I've never been in a game in any way

23
00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:14.959
<v Speaker 1>and had the urge, even though clearly when you're at

24
00:01:14.959 --> 00:01:17.799
<v Speaker 1>a game and there's it's a team you really care about,

25
00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:20.799
<v Speaker 1>You've made that emotional investment to a team. Despite that,

26
00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:28.159
<v Speaker 1>I've never had the urge to just yell something at anybody, player, coach, mascot, anything.

27
00:01:28.799 --> 00:01:30.239
<v Speaker 1>Just it's not who I am. And I don't say

28
00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:32.120
<v Speaker 1>that deack like I'm better than anybody who does. It's

29
00:01:32.120 --> 00:01:34.879
<v Speaker 1>just not my personality. So I just don't do it

30
00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:37.120
<v Speaker 1>because it's not me. But I also am not surprised

31
00:01:37.120 --> 00:01:39.040
<v Speaker 1>when you hear it at games, and I do think

32
00:01:39.040 --> 00:01:41.840
<v Speaker 1>if you pay money to go to a professional game

33
00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:45.879
<v Speaker 1>and these guys are making millions, they should just understand

34
00:01:45.879 --> 00:01:47.400
<v Speaker 1>that there's going to be a level of the opposing

35
00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:49.439
<v Speaker 1>fans ribbon you've giving you a hard time. What it

36
00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:51.840
<v Speaker 1>all comes down to is the line, the line that

37
00:01:51.879 --> 00:01:54.359
<v Speaker 1>you can and can't cross. And I don't know if

38
00:01:54.400 --> 00:01:56.760
<v Speaker 1>there's any definitive line that gives us the exacts as

39
00:01:56.760 --> 00:01:58.640
<v Speaker 1>far as what is allowed and what is not and

40
00:01:58.640 --> 00:02:00.439
<v Speaker 1>what's going to get your band for a lot like

41
00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:02.879
<v Speaker 1>this this guy, But John, are you with me at

42
00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:06.480
<v Speaker 1>least that it would be a totally different world of

43
00:02:06.519 --> 00:02:09.719
<v Speaker 1>scenarios here if he's just making a your mama joke,

44
00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:13.479
<v Speaker 1>which again those are lame, childish and probably not funny. Yeah,

45
00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:16.000
<v Speaker 1>but that's different than bringing up something that you know

46
00:02:16.159 --> 00:02:17.840
<v Speaker 1>is I mean, that's cruel.

47
00:02:17.919 --> 00:02:20.280
<v Speaker 2>Well, I mean, whether you're joking about you know, just

48
00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:22.919
<v Speaker 2>regular everything things or not, when you bring up somebody's

49
00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:26.520
<v Speaker 2>deceased relative mom or not, it's definitely crossing on the

50
00:02:26.560 --> 00:02:27.680
<v Speaker 2>You probably shouldn't.

51
00:02:27.919 --> 00:02:29.400
<v Speaker 1>But if he did not put it this way, if

52
00:02:29.439 --> 00:02:32.879
<v Speaker 1>this fan who's been banned for life came out and

53
00:02:32.919 --> 00:02:36.599
<v Speaker 1>said I was just having fun, probably shouldn't have said

54
00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:39.360
<v Speaker 1>anything regardless, But I am so sorry I hadn't. And

55
00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:41.319
<v Speaker 1>again it's a reminder why you shouldn't make those kind

56
00:02:41.319 --> 00:02:43.840
<v Speaker 1>of jokes, because you really never know somebody's situation. But

57
00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:47.120
<v Speaker 1>if that was the excuse, I wouldn't say, well, okay,

58
00:02:47.319 --> 00:02:50.520
<v Speaker 1>nothing wrong here, nothing to see. Let's reinstate his ability

59
00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:52.520
<v Speaker 1>to go to games. But I would believe him, like

60
00:02:52.520 --> 00:02:54.919
<v Speaker 1>I think that's I think that's plausible in a major way.

61
00:02:55.039 --> 00:02:58.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, genuine apologies, especially if somebody sounds like they're very

62
00:02:58.719 --> 00:03:00.960
<v Speaker 2>sorrowful about what they did. I think they're definitely worth

63
00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:01.719
<v Speaker 2>forgiving him, Like.

64
00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:06.199
<v Speaker 1>Your mom can throw better than that, Well, my mom's dead. Thanks,

65
00:03:06.199 --> 00:03:09.080
<v Speaker 1>Like that's that's it. That's you probably feel like an

66
00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:11.120
<v Speaker 1>awful human being after you say that and realize it.

67
00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:14.680
<v Speaker 1>But that's different than saying, hey, buddy, oh where's your mom. Oh,

68
00:03:14.680 --> 00:03:18.319
<v Speaker 1>that's right, she's dead. It sounded really cruel fit different.

69
00:03:18.599 --> 00:03:20.800
<v Speaker 1>And by the way, if that's what if that, I

70
00:03:20.840 --> 00:03:22.960
<v Speaker 1>feel awful just saying that, just to give you an example.

71
00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:24.800
<v Speaker 1>But if that's what was said by the fan, then

72
00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:27.360
<v Speaker 1>he deserves to be banned, and he deserves even worse.

73
00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:30.039
<v Speaker 1>But anyways, speaking of sporting events, and I I'm going

74
00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:32.479
<v Speaker 1>to be in attendance with many of you because I

75
00:03:32.520 --> 00:03:35.479
<v Speaker 1>know this thing is sold out and it just speaks

76
00:03:35.479 --> 00:03:38.199
<v Speaker 1>to how big of a deal the BA, the Savannah

77
00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:41.560
<v Speaker 1>Banana's baseball experience has become so tonight a'ts slugger field.

78
00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:44.439
<v Speaker 1>I'm going for Banana Ball, meaning it won't be the

79
00:03:44.479 --> 00:03:47.120
<v Speaker 1>actual Savannah Banas, It's going to be a party animals.

80
00:03:47.159 --> 00:03:51.960
<v Speaker 1>And I've be impossible to ignore and not be aware

81
00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:55.639
<v Speaker 1>of just how much buzz this this thing has, if

82
00:03:55.639 --> 00:03:58.280
<v Speaker 1>we can call it a thing, because they're selling out

83
00:03:58.360 --> 00:04:01.840
<v Speaker 1>NFL stadiums. I remember Ember last year when the Savannah

84
00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:05.520
<v Speaker 1>the Savannah Bananas came themselves, was at two or three nights,

85
00:04:05.639 --> 00:04:09.159
<v Speaker 1>and I can't remember an event in Louisville where there

86
00:04:09.159 --> 00:04:12.680
<v Speaker 1>were as many people just Hey, who's got tickets?

87
00:04:12.680 --> 00:04:13.319
<v Speaker 2>I'll pay whatever?

88
00:04:13.439 --> 00:04:16.560
<v Speaker 1>Anybody know, anybody, please please we There was such a

89
00:04:16.680 --> 00:04:19.319
<v Speaker 1>high demand for it, and now again it's maybe not

90
00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:21.040
<v Speaker 1>at the same level of demand. But even though the

91
00:04:21.079 --> 00:04:24.000
<v Speaker 1>Bananas themselves aren't going to be here, it should still

92
00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:27.079
<v Speaker 1>be a party. And I'm kind of looking forward to

93
00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:28.959
<v Speaker 1>Thank you to one of the listeners who emailed me

94
00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:31.839
<v Speaker 1>just a little breakdown here as far as how this

95
00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:35.160
<v Speaker 1>difference from how this differs from traditional baseball, because again,

96
00:04:35.399 --> 00:04:37.279
<v Speaker 1>I know how popular they are. I know they dance

97
00:04:37.360 --> 00:04:39.720
<v Speaker 1>and perform, but you know, as far as the actual

98
00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:42.439
<v Speaker 1>game itself, if you'd have told me that they don't

99
00:04:42.439 --> 00:04:44.959
<v Speaker 1>actually like it's Harlem globe trotter kind of thing, I

100
00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:46.759
<v Speaker 1>would have I would have believed you. But apparently it

101
00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:48.680
<v Speaker 1>is a real game, which that I think that's a

102
00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:52.079
<v Speaker 1>good thing. So it's fast paced, fan focused and entertaining,

103
00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:55.759
<v Speaker 1>which Hey, that already makes baseball sound better to me.

104
00:04:56.519 --> 00:05:00.000
<v Speaker 1>Fast paced, fan focused and entertaining. I don't know why

105
00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:00.639
<v Speaker 1>I can't speak.

106
00:05:01.079 --> 00:05:04.600
<v Speaker 2>He's that Kentucky crudd right, Yeah, from all this heat

107
00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:04.959
<v Speaker 2>we're dealing.

108
00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:07.319
<v Speaker 1>But all games are capped at two hours, so no

109
00:05:07.360 --> 00:05:09.639
<v Speaker 1>new innings start after one hour and fifty minutes, so

110
00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:12.879
<v Speaker 1>that I think that's a benefit. Also, I like the

111
00:05:12.959 --> 00:05:15.120
<v Speaker 1>no walks on ball. Four of the batter sprints to

112
00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:17.240
<v Speaker 1>first and the defense must throw the ball to every

113
00:05:17.319 --> 00:05:20.279
<v Speaker 1>fielder before tagging the runner out. That creates, of course,

114
00:05:20.279 --> 00:05:23.199
<v Speaker 1>some chaos and some excitement. So looking forward to it,

115
00:05:23.800 --> 00:05:26.720
<v Speaker 1>I know my son moves. He's gonna be, he's gonna

116
00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:28.399
<v Speaker 1>be fired up. He just found out last night we

117
00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:31.319
<v Speaker 1>were going and he's he's ready. Although it's gonna be

118
00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:33.199
<v Speaker 1>you know, he's gonna where's the man? I mean, these

119
00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:35.879
<v Speaker 1>are the party animals, son, These are better these guys party.

120
00:05:35.959 --> 00:05:37.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna have to let him know we actually are

121
00:05:37.480 --> 00:05:40.839
<v Speaker 1>seeing the preferable team in the whole mix here. All right,

<v Speaker 1>Trump and iron next week. It sounds like there's no

127
00:05:52.680 --> 00:05:54.600
<v Speaker 1>need for the meeting. But again we'll talk to Rory

<v Speaker 1>NBC News is going to join us. And then of

137
00:06:16.120 --> 00:06:18.399
<v Speaker 1>course we'll finish strong here like we always do, and

138
00:06:18.439 --> 00:06:22.000
<v Speaker 1>then Toty Vineddie will stop by and then Tony and

139
00:06:22.040 --> 00:06:24.120
<v Speaker 1>Dewhite will take over, coming up at nine o'clock. So,

140
00:06:24.360 --> 00:06:26.240
<v Speaker 1>something we discussed earlier for those that weren't with us

141
00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:29.399
<v Speaker 1>is a new podcast that is launching. And I'm sure

142
00:06:29.399 --> 00:06:31.720
<v Speaker 1>a lot of you have podcasts. Fatigue. Everybody's got a podcast,

143
00:06:31.720 --> 00:06:33.600
<v Speaker 1>and I get it, but this one I think is

144
00:06:33.600 --> 00:06:38.360
<v Speaker 1>interesting because of the story. So the guy who used

145
00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:40.720
<v Speaker 1>to be Steve in Blues Clues, and I guess he

146
00:06:40.759 --> 00:06:43.360
<v Speaker 1>still is that guy, but he is starting a podcast,

147
00:06:43.720 --> 00:06:46.199
<v Speaker 1>and how it all came about, I just think is fascinating.

148
00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:47.600
<v Speaker 1>His name is Steve Burns, and he was the host

149
00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:49.839
<v Speaker 1>of Nickelodeon's Blues Clues from nineteen ninety six to two

150
00:06:49.879 --> 00:06:52.360
<v Speaker 1>thousand and two, and he's going to be launching a

151
00:06:52.399 --> 00:06:54.879
<v Speaker 1>podcast in the fall of this year that is going

152
00:06:54.879 --> 00:06:59.720
<v Speaker 1>to target adults millennials who in fact were close to

153
00:06:59.800 --> 00:07:02.839
<v Speaker 1>him via the TV show when they were young. And

154
00:07:02.920 --> 00:07:05.079
<v Speaker 1>I don't believe that. In fact, it says here in

155
00:07:05.079 --> 00:07:07.920
<v Speaker 1>the report from Variety that the podcast was inspired by

156
00:07:07.920 --> 00:07:10.480
<v Speaker 1>the twenty twenty one viral video where he for the

157
00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:13.639
<v Speaker 1>twenty fifth anniversary of Blues Clues, did a video and

158
00:07:13.680 --> 00:07:17.120
<v Speaker 1>he just appeared twenty five years later and he was

159
00:07:17.160 --> 00:07:19.560
<v Speaker 1>the same guy. He actually looked the same too, which

160
00:07:19.639 --> 00:07:23.480
<v Speaker 1>was wild, and he was talking to I guess the

161
00:07:23.519 --> 00:07:25.839
<v Speaker 1>target was those same people, but of course now they're

162
00:07:25.839 --> 00:07:28.160
<v Speaker 1>a lot older. We were right out of the pandemic,

163
00:07:28.199 --> 00:07:29.959
<v Speaker 1>or maybe it was still going on. I don't even know.

164
00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:35.000
<v Speaker 1>That's a very blurry area, but it was as if

165
00:07:35.160 --> 00:07:38.399
<v Speaker 1>everybody who hadn't thought of him in Forever Got an Update,

166
00:07:38.439 --> 00:07:40.639
<v Speaker 1>and he's talking about how life is hard right now

167
00:07:40.680 --> 00:07:42.720
<v Speaker 1>and like what's going on in the world. And he's

168
00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:45.360
<v Speaker 1>talking to you like he did when he was there

169
00:07:45.399 --> 00:07:47.240
<v Speaker 1>for you when you were seven and eight years old,

170
00:07:47.759 --> 00:07:50.079
<v Speaker 1>and he's talking now not about little kit things. He's

171
00:07:50.120 --> 00:07:52.639
<v Speaker 1>talking about real life stuff. So the amount of people

172
00:07:52.680 --> 00:07:55.399
<v Speaker 1>who couldn't help me get emotional about that and talk

173
00:07:55.439 --> 00:07:57.800
<v Speaker 1>about how much they needed to hear from him, that

174
00:07:58.199 --> 00:08:00.879
<v Speaker 1>that was a factor in this podcast kind of all

175
00:08:00.879 --> 00:08:03.079
<v Speaker 1>coming together and I didn't realize it, but it makes

176
00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:05.600
<v Speaker 1>total sense that our own John Alden, he was a

177
00:08:05.639 --> 00:08:08.560
<v Speaker 1>Blues Clues kid, and he shared how he earlier went

178
00:08:08.560 --> 00:08:11.439
<v Speaker 1>and watched the trailer for this new podcast and it

179
00:08:12.040 --> 00:08:13.600
<v Speaker 1>was nostalgic, right yeah.

180
00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:15.759
<v Speaker 2>And he was sitting in the big red chair kind

181
00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:17.879
<v Speaker 2>of similar to the same way that whenever the Blues

182
00:08:17.920 --> 00:08:20.279
<v Speaker 2>Clue Show would be on TV, and he kind of

183
00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:22.240
<v Speaker 2>talks to you through the camera. It was kind of

184
00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:24.160
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to say it was creepy, because it wasn't.

185
00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:26.879
<v Speaker 2>It just brings you back to that time when you were,

186
00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:29.560
<v Speaker 2>you know, six, seven years old, maybe even younger. And

187
00:08:29.879 --> 00:08:31.519
<v Speaker 2>I'm interested to see when this is going to come out.

188
00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:32.960
<v Speaker 2>I think it's going to be in the fall. Yeah,

189
00:08:32.960 --> 00:08:35.440
<v Speaker 2>the Fall of twenty twenty. I definitely give it a shot.

190
00:08:35.639 --> 00:08:37.120
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if it's something I'll listen to all

191
00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:38.679
<v Speaker 2>the time, but I'm definitely intrigued by it.

192
00:08:38.720 --> 00:08:40.919
<v Speaker 1>Give it a shot. Let us know if it hits

193
00:08:40.960 --> 00:08:43.840
<v Speaker 1>the way they are expecting, because I think if you're

194
00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:45.279
<v Speaker 1>somebody who watched it and it was a part of

195
00:08:45.320 --> 00:08:47.879
<v Speaker 1>your childhood, you made it. You had a connection with

196
00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:51.639
<v Speaker 1>Steve from Blues Clues, and there's still probably a connection

197
00:08:51.720 --> 00:08:55.159
<v Speaker 1>there to an extent. But if you give everybody the same,

198
00:08:55.360 --> 00:08:57.480
<v Speaker 1>like if the aesthetics are very much similar to what

199
00:08:57.559 --> 00:09:00.559
<v Speaker 1>you experienced as a child, the nostalgia will be unreal.

200
00:09:00.679 --> 00:09:03.440
<v Speaker 1>And then if instead of discussing the things he discussed

201
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:05.360
<v Speaker 1>who seven and eight year olds, he's talking about real

202
00:09:05.399 --> 00:09:07.519
<v Speaker 1>life and even his experience as a real human, not

203
00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:09.799
<v Speaker 1>just the character on the show, I could see this

204
00:09:09.960 --> 00:09:12.320
<v Speaker 1>being successful. I could be totally wrong, but I just

205
00:09:12.559 --> 00:09:14.879
<v Speaker 1>I love how this story all all came together. And

206
00:09:15.159 --> 00:09:17.480
<v Speaker 1>we had a listener earlier listening on the out radio

207
00:09:17.480 --> 00:09:20.759
<v Speaker 1>app that used the talkback feature, and I think they

208
00:09:20.799 --> 00:09:23.879
<v Speaker 1>made here a comparison that I can't relate to because

209
00:09:23.919 --> 00:09:26.960
<v Speaker 1>I didn't watch this show with this man at the time,

210
00:09:26.960 --> 00:09:28.519
<v Speaker 1>but like, it totally checks out for me.

211
00:09:28.799 --> 00:09:30.799
<v Speaker 2>I think Steve from Blues Cluz is kind of like

212
00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:33.919
<v Speaker 2>the same as maybe mister Rogers back in a different decade.

213
00:09:34.519 --> 00:09:37.919
<v Speaker 1>So I mean, again just considering the character that what

214
00:09:37.960 --> 00:09:39.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean, those two guys were the show that we're

215
00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:42.919
<v Speaker 1>talking about, and you connected as a kid, and it

216
00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:45.519
<v Speaker 1>just kind of felt like a companion that was like

217
00:09:45.639 --> 00:09:46.559
<v Speaker 1>almost like a mentor.

218
00:09:47.120 --> 00:09:47.399
<v Speaker 3>Right.

219
00:09:47.919 --> 00:09:50.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I didn't see a ton of mister Rogers. I

220
00:09:50.440 --> 00:09:52.320
<v Speaker 2>neither based on what I know about him. It's a

221
00:09:52.360 --> 00:09:52.960
<v Speaker 2>good comparison.

222
00:09:53.000 --> 00:09:56.000
<v Speaker 1>Have you seen the movie that came out with Tom Hanks? Yeah,

223
00:09:56.080 --> 00:09:57.799
<v Speaker 1>I have you seen it? Yeah, I need to watch that.

224
00:09:57.840 --> 00:10:00.720
<v Speaker 1>I haven't watched it, but I've heard good things about it. Yeah,

225
00:10:00.759 --> 00:10:02.799
<v Speaker 1>So good stuff there. And also, if you want to

226
00:10:02.840 --> 00:10:05.799
<v Speaker 1>interact and share thoughts on anything we're talking about or

227
00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:07.360
<v Speaker 1>anything in general, just know you have that option with

228
00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:10.000
<v Speaker 1>the Aaheart Radio app using the talkback feature. Just click

229
00:10:10.039 --> 00:10:12.960
<v Speaker 1>the microphone that you'll see right there on your screen

230
00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:15.279
<v Speaker 1>as you're listening, and it's that easy. All right, We've

231
00:10:15.279 --> 00:10:17.360
<v Speaker 1>got another update of tracking and weather coming your way,

232
00:10:17.519 --> 00:10:19.080
<v Speaker 1>and another update of sports as well. Right here on

233
00:10:19.080 --> 00:10:23.720
<v Speaker 1>news RADIOA forty whis eight forty six here Kentucky in

234
00:10:23.799 --> 00:10:26.440
<v Speaker 1>his morning news. We've got about fifteen minutes roughly left

235
00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:28.679
<v Speaker 1>before we hand it off to Tony and Dwight. And

236
00:10:29.039 --> 00:10:33.120
<v Speaker 1>I am a self proclaimed dork for the NFL Draft

237
00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:35.159
<v Speaker 1>the NBA Draft, not just because I like sports, but

238
00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:38.399
<v Speaker 1>because I just there's always things that come up on

239
00:10:38.519 --> 00:10:40.759
<v Speaker 1>draft night that are entertaining that have nothing to do

240
00:10:40.840 --> 00:10:44.440
<v Speaker 1>with the sport itself. And last night, Tony, there was

241
00:10:44.440 --> 00:10:46.840
<v Speaker 1>a guy named Cedric Coward, who, by the way, has

242
00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:49.720
<v Speaker 1>a really really interesting story, was a D three player

243
00:10:50.200 --> 00:10:53.639
<v Speaker 1>and transferred to a low level D one, really took off,

244
00:10:53.720 --> 00:10:56.120
<v Speaker 1>then transferred to I think it was Washington State, and

245
00:10:56.159 --> 00:10:58.919
<v Speaker 1>then he becomes a lottery pick last night, which is crazy.

246
00:10:59.320 --> 00:11:02.519
<v Speaker 1>But when he was when he was drafted, Malik Andrews,

247
00:11:02.519 --> 00:11:05.879
<v Speaker 1>who works for ESPN, the Four Letter Network, she had

248
00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:07.879
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of a goof, which is an honest mistake.

249
00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:09.240
<v Speaker 1>But I just want to get your thoughts as a

250
00:11:09.320 --> 00:11:13.320
<v Speaker 1>media mogul like yourself, somebody that's been in this broadcast

251
00:11:13.399 --> 00:11:17.080
<v Speaker 1>entertainment business so long. It is an honest mistake, but

252
00:11:17.360 --> 00:11:19.960
<v Speaker 1>the mistake could also be something that like, it wouldn't

253
00:11:19.960 --> 00:11:21.519
<v Speaker 1>shock me if she gets in trouble, let's hear it.

254
00:11:23.240 --> 00:11:30.720
<v Speaker 4>So the Portland Trailblazers select Colin Coward here this is

255
00:11:30.759 --> 00:11:34.120
<v Speaker 4>a young man with the ultimate bet on yourself story.

256
00:11:34.679 --> 00:11:39.840
<v Speaker 1>So she mentioned Colin Cowhard, who is not an NBA player,

257
00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:42.639
<v Speaker 1>didn't get drafted. He is somebody who is in her business.

258
00:11:42.639 --> 00:11:46.240
<v Speaker 1>He's a competitor, the direct competitor. He is the Fox,

259
00:11:46.399 --> 00:11:50.039
<v Speaker 1>Fox and ESPN or competitors. I suppose. Obviously Fox is

260
00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:52.840
<v Speaker 1>trying to be competitive. But if they've invested one guy

261
00:11:52.919 --> 00:11:54.879
<v Speaker 1>in one guy to try to give them a little

262
00:11:54.919 --> 00:11:58.840
<v Speaker 1>bit more balance between the two, it's they stole Cowherd

263
00:11:58.879 --> 00:12:00.639
<v Speaker 1>and paid him in say amount of money and on

264
00:12:00.720 --> 00:12:04.120
<v Speaker 1>draft note on ESPN, she's mentioning his name an accident,

265
00:12:04.200 --> 00:12:07.080
<v Speaker 1>which again it seems harmless, but also like there's a

266
00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:08.159
<v Speaker 1>million people watching.

267
00:12:08.320 --> 00:12:10.679
<v Speaker 3>First of all, it sounds legit. It didn't sound like

268
00:12:10.720 --> 00:12:13.399
<v Speaker 3>a bit right, So she I think if she'd have gone, oh,

269
00:12:13.440 --> 00:12:16.840
<v Speaker 3>I'm sorry, I think you know, because sometimes they do

270
00:12:16.879 --> 00:12:19.639
<v Speaker 3>it on purpose, right. I always used to say when

271
00:12:19.679 --> 00:12:21.679
<v Speaker 3>the other stations would mention us when we were on

272
00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:24.639
<v Speaker 3>seven ninety was like, I don't care as long as

273
00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:26.919
<v Speaker 3>they spell the name right. And you're mentioning my name

274
00:12:26.960 --> 00:12:29.080
<v Speaker 3>and my station on your station. Good for you, Good

275
00:12:29.120 --> 00:12:31.240
<v Speaker 3>for you. It doesn't matter what you say. Please say

276
00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:34.440
<v Speaker 3>it again. I don't care what you're saying. Right, But

277
00:12:34.480 --> 00:12:36.679
<v Speaker 3>that sounded your head first of all, that sounded legit.

278
00:12:36.759 --> 00:12:38.399
<v Speaker 3>The second thing you got to look at is how

279
00:12:38.440 --> 00:12:43.320
<v Speaker 3>much are these people sleep walking through these drafts. You

280
00:12:43.360 --> 00:12:47.159
<v Speaker 3>can't possibly know everything about all these kids, can't possibly care,

281
00:12:47.519 --> 00:12:50.799
<v Speaker 3>you can't possibly interested in it. So that's exactly right.

282
00:12:50.840 --> 00:12:54.080
<v Speaker 3>So they're sleep walking through these you know your hour

283
00:12:54.200 --> 00:12:57.759
<v Speaker 3>number whatever, And then you're thinking minus all of the

284
00:12:57.799 --> 00:13:00.000
<v Speaker 3>prep that you did, so your brain is already broke

285
00:13:00.480 --> 00:13:03.519
<v Speaker 3>and you're uninterested and tired and hungry, and yes, Colin

286
00:13:03.559 --> 00:13:05.440
<v Speaker 3>Cowherd will pop out. By the way, you can listen

287
00:13:05.480 --> 00:13:07.639
<v Speaker 3>to Colin Cowherd from twelve to three on Sports Talk

288
00:13:07.679 --> 00:13:08.240
<v Speaker 3>seven nineteen.

289
00:13:08.240 --> 00:13:11.279
<v Speaker 1>Here we Go. I think it was an honest mistake

290
00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:14.960
<v Speaker 1>that her partners up there. It was Jay Billis and

291
00:13:15.639 --> 00:13:18.879
<v Speaker 1>the other analyst was Kendrick Perkins. Maybe they were just

292
00:13:18.960 --> 00:13:21.240
<v Speaker 1>checked out as well. But maybe this is a no

293
00:13:21.240 --> 00:13:22.840
<v Speaker 1>no because I don't hear this very often. I think,

294
00:13:22.879 --> 00:13:24.320
<v Speaker 1>in fact, I believe I was taught to do this.

295
00:13:24.399 --> 00:13:25.919
<v Speaker 1>I just don't do it. But if you do have

296
00:13:25.960 --> 00:13:27.720
<v Speaker 1>a slip up or a goof like that, just move

297
00:13:27.759 --> 00:13:30.600
<v Speaker 1>along as its exactly happened. But I feel like it

298
00:13:30.639 --> 00:13:33.279
<v Speaker 1>would have been a little bit I just if I

299
00:13:33.399 --> 00:13:36.039
<v Speaker 1>was Kendrick Perkins, I would think, you know, I would

300
00:13:36.080 --> 00:13:38.000
<v Speaker 1>make a slight joke about it and then move on

301
00:13:38.039 --> 00:13:40.120
<v Speaker 1>to at least acknowledge it. But apparently you're not supposed

302
00:13:40.159 --> 00:13:40.440
<v Speaker 1>to do that.

303
00:13:40.480 --> 00:13:43.159
<v Speaker 3>I would have made fun of Colin Cowherd's basketball acumen

304
00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:47.000
<v Speaker 3>and said, oh, well, he got he wishes he got

305
00:13:47.080 --> 00:13:51.480
<v Speaker 3>drafted to the to the older thirty five Catholic League

306
00:13:51.240 --> 00:13:52.240
<v Speaker 3>may joke.

307
00:13:52.120 --> 00:13:55.320
<v Speaker 1>About like the Portland Travelers are just having like a yes,

308
00:13:55.399 --> 00:13:57.639
<v Speaker 1>this is this is the make a wish draft picked

309
00:13:58.039 --> 00:14:00.279
<v Speaker 1>honor somebody who could never be sure.

310
00:14:00.320 --> 00:14:02.960
<v Speaker 3>White guys they can't shoot usually don't get uh, don't

311
00:14:02.960 --> 00:14:06.120
<v Speaker 3>get drafted in the first round. Uh. But you know

312
00:14:06.200 --> 00:14:07.960
<v Speaker 3>the first round of the NBA. I used to watch

313
00:14:07.960 --> 00:14:10.720
<v Speaker 3>it too. The NFL draft is different because every single

314
00:14:10.720 --> 00:14:12.759
<v Speaker 3>one of those players are so ready. Now they used

315
00:14:12.759 --> 00:14:15.000
<v Speaker 3>to have to sit and get better and then play.

316
00:14:15.120 --> 00:14:18.639
<v Speaker 3>They they will start on their teams as rookies that

317
00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:21.200
<v Speaker 3>the first round is they make impacts on their.

318
00:14:21.039 --> 00:14:25.200
<v Speaker 1>Team and the NFL just dominates everything everything. Yeah, the

319
00:14:25.360 --> 00:14:29.159
<v Speaker 1>NFL draft is during the NBA playoffs, Yeah, the beginning

320
00:14:29.159 --> 00:14:32.000
<v Speaker 1>of it. Yeah, and so you got it and Derby

321
00:14:32.000 --> 00:14:32.720
<v Speaker 1>all around the same time.

322
00:14:32.759 --> 00:14:34.519
<v Speaker 3>I remember a couple of years ago they were talking

323
00:14:34.519 --> 00:14:37.879
<v Speaker 3>about how NFL draft has just taken off. It beat

324
00:14:37.919 --> 00:14:40.480
<v Speaker 3>a Lebron playoff and when he was in Cleveland or something,

325
00:14:40.759 --> 00:14:43.120
<v Speaker 3>and it beat it, like doubled it or tripled it.

326
00:14:43.200 --> 00:14:46.639
<v Speaker 3>The ratings for the draft over an NBA playoff and

327
00:14:46.720 --> 00:14:48.919
<v Speaker 3>then and it just tells you how powerful the NFL.

328
00:14:49.080 --> 00:14:52.000
<v Speaker 1>When the NFL gives us the schedule, it's a bigger

329
00:14:52.879 --> 00:14:56.840
<v Speaker 1>storyline talking point nationally in sports than almost anything any

330
00:14:56.879 --> 00:14:58.840
<v Speaker 1>other major sport does. That that to me has always

331
00:14:58.879 --> 00:15:01.360
<v Speaker 1>been the real Oh my god, the NBA is not

332
00:15:01.399 --> 00:15:04.120
<v Speaker 1>only dominating, it's that there's there's no competition.

333
00:15:04.759 --> 00:15:07.000
<v Speaker 3>And to this guy, this kid's point to where he

334
00:15:07.080 --> 00:15:09.679
<v Speaker 3>went to, you know, whatever Division II, blah blah blah,

335
00:15:09.759 --> 00:15:11.840
<v Speaker 3>what worked his way up, That will tell you how

336
00:15:12.000 --> 00:15:15.080
<v Speaker 3>lame the basketball rankings are. Like when they come out

337
00:15:15.080 --> 00:15:19.279
<v Speaker 3>of high school or AAU who's good and who's not good, right,

338
00:15:19.360 --> 00:15:22.759
<v Speaker 3>because they fall through the cracks. Plus there's that, you know,

339
00:15:22.799 --> 00:15:24.679
<v Speaker 3>a lot of these schools get done with their recruiting

340
00:15:24.679 --> 00:15:26.000
<v Speaker 3>and a lot of people. How many times you go

341
00:15:26.039 --> 00:15:28.799
<v Speaker 3>to high school and you come back from summer before

342
00:15:28.879 --> 00:15:32.799
<v Speaker 3>senior year and some dudes gained forty pounds in four inches.

343
00:15:32.960 --> 00:15:35.120
<v Speaker 1>One of the guys drafted drafted last night. He grew

344
00:15:35.159 --> 00:15:38.840
<v Speaker 1>from five to six to like six eight within an

345
00:15:38.840 --> 00:15:40.919
<v Speaker 1>eighteen month time and it was during the pandemic bingo.

346
00:15:41.240 --> 00:15:44.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so they they have that leap. Well, recruiting's already

347
00:15:44.120 --> 00:15:45.840
<v Speaker 3>done for most of these schools, so they fall to

348
00:15:45.960 --> 00:15:49.240
<v Speaker 3>a East co you know, we West coast whatever, YadA YadA,

349
00:15:49.279 --> 00:15:52.399
<v Speaker 3>and then they get overlooked. But now with all those

350
00:15:52.559 --> 00:15:55.440
<v Speaker 3>transfer yeah there are and with all this transfer, there's

351
00:15:55.519 --> 00:15:57.759
<v Speaker 3>good and there's mostly bad to the transfer.

352
00:15:57.840 --> 00:16:00.440
<v Speaker 1>Maybe it was just for effect. This guy, it's such

353
00:16:00.440 --> 00:16:02.480
<v Speaker 1>an unheard of great story. Look, can you believe he's here.

354
00:16:02.519 --> 00:16:04.039
<v Speaker 1>We didn't even know his name. Maybe they could sell

355
00:16:04.080 --> 00:16:05.840
<v Speaker 1>it us that I've got to something that I think

356
00:16:05.919 --> 00:16:07.519
<v Speaker 1>is similar that happened in the NFL. I want us

357
00:16:07.519 --> 00:16:09.679
<v Speaker 1>to get your thoughts quickly if this is worse or

358
00:16:09.679 --> 00:16:13.200
<v Speaker 1>the same. So Mark Sanchez, former NFL quarterback. He jumped

359
00:16:13.240 --> 00:16:16.240
<v Speaker 1>to the broadcast booth recently is being as a color analyst,

360
00:16:16.639 --> 00:16:20.000
<v Speaker 1>and when making a comment about a play that may

361
00:16:20.080 --> 00:16:23.080
<v Speaker 1>need to be reviewed or a challenge, he said, well, hey,

362
00:16:23.159 --> 00:16:25.679
<v Speaker 1>let's uh, let's throw it. Let's see what Let's see

363
00:16:25.679 --> 00:16:29.279
<v Speaker 1>what Gene has to say. And he wasn't He was

364
00:16:29.440 --> 00:16:31.440
<v Speaker 1>basically saying, we might have to have him give us

365
00:16:31.440 --> 00:16:34.279
<v Speaker 1>an update. Wrong network. He worked for CBS.

366
00:16:34.559 --> 00:16:36.759
<v Speaker 3>He referenced the rules analysts.

367
00:16:37.480 --> 00:16:38.080
<v Speaker 2>That's a little bit.

368
00:16:38.399 --> 00:16:40.440
<v Speaker 1>I think he was able to keep his job, but

369
00:16:40.519 --> 00:16:42.240
<v Speaker 1>like one the other guy, like, imagine throwing it to

370
00:16:42.360 --> 00:16:44.480
<v Speaker 1>him the rest of the season. You thought you thought

371
00:16:44.480 --> 00:16:44.960
<v Speaker 1>you had.

372
00:16:44.799 --> 00:16:47.519
<v Speaker 3>The You know, I feel I feel for him because

373
00:16:47.519 --> 00:16:49.799
<v Speaker 3>every time someone talks about him, they do the butt

374
00:16:49.840 --> 00:16:51.960
<v Speaker 3>butt fumble, and it's just like, dude, it was one

375
00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:52.879
<v Speaker 3>play in a career.

376
00:16:53.159 --> 00:16:56.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and also it was a bad look for broadcasters,

377
00:16:56.960 --> 00:16:58.799
<v Speaker 1>who like, why do we even need people who you

378
00:16:58.879 --> 00:17:00.799
<v Speaker 1>never played the game? Well, you didn't even know what

379
00:17:00.879 --> 00:17:01.679
<v Speaker 1>neverk you worked for?

380
00:17:01.679 --> 00:17:02.080
<v Speaker 3>Exactly?
